Title: Benzoic acid metabolism in presence of Schistosoma mansoni infection in mice.
Abstract: The metabolism of benzoic acid was examined in S. mansoni infected CBA mouse. The result showed that control animals dosed with 150 mg/kg benzoic acid resulted in urinary excretion of two metabolites, hippuric acid and benzoic acid glucuronide. Administration of the same dose to animal carrying S. mansoni for a period of over 6 weeks resulted in decreased formation of hippuric acid and total elimination of benzoic acid by glucuronide pathway.
